Carlson paid a courtesy call on Marcos at Malacañang, where they talked about Washington’s provision of two C-130s of the Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) in the ongoing delivery of food packs and other supplies to residents affected by the flooding in Mindanao.
“Carlson told President Marcos that Washington is pleased to bring two C-130s from the INDOPACOM, although it is not the cheapest or the easiest way to deliver foreign assistance,” the Presidential Communications Office said in a statement.
“But when you ask and you need it, we are here," Carlson told Marcos, referring to the teams from the US Agency for International Development, Joint US Military Assistance Group and INDOPACÓM.
At the request of the Philippine government, US Marines of the Okinawa-based Third Marine Expeditionary Force assisted the USAID in providing humanitarian assistance in the ongoing disaster relief mission in Mindanao.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Monday announced that two US Marine Corps KC-130J Hercules aircraft would be used to help in the delivery of supplies to the victims of the landslide in Maco, Davao de Oro.
